I can't help with the issue since I don't use that combination, but have you tried another greeter? I see one called marco for mate in the repositories. You could also try booting to another desktop to see if the failure is specific to mate. I wonder if you are missing a dependency that is not specified properly for dnf - a packaging error, in other words. Maybe something that lightdm-gtk-greeter depends on is missing one of its dependencies. Or maybe there is a configuration option missing that the first run creates, so that the second one can complete. Finally, the first thing I thought of when I saw your description of the error was an application capturing login credentials. It seems unlikely, but it fits the profile. Try reinstalling the package from the repositiories. That has the added benefit of fixing any possible bad bits on your hard drive, that could also cause this error. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
